Auto Start-Stop at high temperatures ?

[Summitsearcher]

Been visiting my Daughter in Phoenix and noticed at these temperatures my auto stop/start doesn’t activate. Morning it does fine, heat of the day it does not. Maybe keep the a/c working?

this is what I feel like out on a stroll.

The auto start stop will disable if engine operation is necessary for AC/Heat. ?

Yes the car stays on to keep the AC going because you are currently next to hell

That said, I'd take south west heat over just about any other, humidity is a hell of thing. I can deal with 110*f at an rH of 10% but lord 95*f at an rH of 90+ is no good for me. Being of a "gladitorial" build I'll overheat before I run out of ATP and then it's like trying to draft cool a cat dozer the whole rest of the day.

Yikes! Back home living in the north woods we get humidity only when a front comes in. When it passes it’s comfortable even at night. Now Florida in the summer is a whole different animal.

Thus the nice part of living in coastal Long Island, we just had a week in the high 80's and then since Saturday it's been in the mid 70's. Weather comes in waves and never lasts too long.

Feel your pain we been cooking here in South Texas plus the damned Humidity is like wearing a blanket. You burn up but look like you just stepped out of the pool with all your cloths on.

For those of you that wish to disable auto start? Just drive in reverse. Problem solved.?
